Cassandra Burkepile April 27‚ 2014 General Psychology The Cerebellum The Cerebellum of the brain is located at the end of the brainstem. The tissue is folded into itself several times and each layer helps with the organization on the mind. Over time‚ scientists discovered that this bean shaped matter has a lot to do with coordinating voluntary movement. However‚ new discoveries show that damage to the cerebellum affects how people are able to identify sensory information and

The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending‚ receiving‚ and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. This system can be divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Let ’s take a look at the central nervous system. Central Nervous System The

I was walking down the trail to Sombrio Beach which is about a 1.5k hike down a steep trail to the ocean. I had a surfboard under my right arm‚ an axe in my left hand‚ and a large 40 litre hiking backpack fully loaded with supplies on my back. About half way down there is a left turn in the trail which has a declining

The effector neurons of the myenteric plexus may be excitatory or inhibitory according to the substances released in contact with smooth muscle cells. Excitatory neurons release acetylcholine‚ substance

This can be due to ischemia (lack of blood flow) caused by blockage (thrombosis‚ arterial embolism)‚ or a hemorrhage. Risk factors for

Background Information Muscles in the human body can be classified into three different types- cardiac‚ smooth and skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are the muscles that can be controlled voluntarily‚ in things such walking and picking things up. The skeletal muscles are made up of bundles of muscle fibres (which are also known as myofibrils‚ as can be seen below). Each of the muscle fibres contain many sarcomeres‚ which is the most basic form of striated muscle tissue- they consist of two

spinal cord‚ often involve a combination of spinal cord lesions and segmental root or spinal nerve injuries.The spinal cord itself is organized into a series of tracts or neuropathways that carry motor (descending) and sensory (ascending) information. These tracts are organized anatomically within the spinal cord. The corticospinal tracts are descending motor pathways located anteriorly within the spinal cord. Axons extend from the cerebral cortex in the brain as far as the corresponding segment‚
